Over the last couple of years I have been made aware that I need to keep upto date with cost for replacing my house if I have to replace it.
This year the insurance companies have not mentioned it which got me wondering. So I used the online calculator that I used last year and the price dropped by $200K ?

I am sure there are some people who will be able to share thoughts
